"Raven Banner"

self-released

Artists:

In September, Bristol producer Sebastian Gainsborough released his debut album, Order of Noise, as Vessel. The collection of "non-dance dance music" sutured disparate sounds-- a radiator fizzing, clanging of distant bells, lethargic beats-- into a semblance of sound befitting other Tri Angle affiliates such as Holy Other and oOoOO. An outtake from Order of Noise, "Raven Banner" shudders with similar machinations but delves further beneath the surface, cracking deep bass whiplike over thunderous explosions of crackles and whispers. The song's break conjures an eerie keyboard melody that smacks of something that would be drawn from Oneohtrix Point Never's sound archives, persistent even as the industrial hangover threatens to swallow it back up.
